- Reason for recall
- This recall is part of a 2-issue recall for the same system. When using the IVC needle position button, on the IVC control box during a series of scans, the plan box may not move to the desired needle position. This issue could result in the gantry moving to a location the operator does not expect. If this occurs, it presents a risk that the scan could occur at an incorrect location, or that the unintended motion of the gantry could cause a collision with the user or needle. The other part of the recall involves a software crash when the CCT foot pedal is activated (as described in RES ID93363).
